Welcome to a rewarding professional career as a massage practitioner. MANZ is committed to the future of the massage therapy industry in New Zealand and if you are currently studying massage therapy we invite you to join MANZ as a Student member.

By joining MANZ as a student you have access to the members only section of the MANZ website, providing resources and support that may assist you in your professional journey. You also receive email notification about employment opportunities and continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities that can be invaluable when you are wanting to see what is available after you complete your studies.

You will also learn about the important role that a professional association plays in advancing the New Zealand massage therapy industry towards credibility, best practice and a professional identity. MANZ does this by setting high standards of practice, promoting the profession of massage, providing rules of conduct and ethics for its members, and promoting quality massage therapy education.

Student membership is COMPLIMENTARY for all students studying Massage Therapy at an NZQA approved training institution. Check here to find which providers are NZQA accredited.

Once you’ve completed your studies, if you’ve been a student member of MANZ, you can transition to an RMT membership at no additional cost for the remainder of the membership cycle, which ends on 31 March annually.

To assist new graduates in getting established after finishing training, MANZ has a New Graduate membership rate.  This rate is $100 and is available for the first year only, following completion of studies to those who have been student members of MANZ up until graduation. You must provide proof of your qualification and date gained.
